Abu Dhabi is bracing for an intense stretch of summer weather this week, with temperatures predicted to soar across the emirate in the coming days.
Weather forecasts indicate parts of the emirate could reach 48°C this week, making it one of the hottest periods of the year so far as summer conditions continue to strengthen across the UAE.
What The Forecast Means for Residents
With prolonged periods of extreme heat on the cards, residents are advised to plan outdoor activities for the early morning or after sunset, with the middle of the day likely to be particularly intense, especially in open areas of the city.
Authorities will be informing people to stay hydrated, avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight, and take extra care when spending extended periods outdoors during peak afternoon hours.
Summer Has Officially Arrived
This forecast is a reminder that the UAE’s summer season is only just getting started, as temperatures continue their seasonal climb.
Combined with humidity levels that often rise during this time of year, outdoor conditions could feel even warmer than the thermometer suggests.
With all this in mind, it might be the perfect time to make the most of Abu Dhabi’s indoor attractions, indoor fitness spaces, air-conditioned cafés, and shopping destinations while the city turns up the heat outside.
